Man's real life is happy, chiefly because he is ever expecting that it soon will be so.

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Others may know pleasure, but pleasure is not happiness. It has no more importance than a shadow following a man.

It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

Happiness depends upon ourselves.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.

All who would win joy, must share it; happiness was born a twin.

For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.

Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude

Be joyful because it is humanly possible.

Morality is not properly the doctrine of how we may make ourselves happy, but how we may make ourselves worthy of happiness.

The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.

It is not God's will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Remember happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely upon what you think

Happiness, not in another place but this place...not for another hour, but this hour.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.

Part of the happiness of life consists not in fighting battles, but in avoiding them. A masterly retreat is in itself a victory.
